Quiz
This is the only Classic Who appearance of the Sisterhood of Karn, who would not be seen again until Doctor Who: The Night of the Doctor (2013).

Blooper
The premise is that Dr Solon has created a body, much like Frankenstein's Monster, made up from a variety of alien parts, to house the still living brain of the evil Time Lord Morbius. To complete the body, he only needs the Doctor's head. But instead of hacking the Doctor's head off, why not use the Doctor's entire body and simply transplant Morbius' brain into it? There is no logic in making Morbius live in such a horrific body when something more like his original form could be used.

Citazioni
Solon: Oh. What a magnificent head.
Sarah Jane Smith: What?
Solon: Superb head.
Doctor Who: Well, I'm glad you like it, I have had several. I used to have an old grey model before this. Some people liked it.
Sarah Jane Smith: I did.

Baker et al at their best

The Doctor Who team really created a high point in the series with this one. Everything, from the script, tothe acting, the costumes and the sets are fantastic. It is odd looking back at this kids' Saturday teatime TV and realising the monumental talent and effort that has gone into it. Madoc as the crazed Solon is an obvious highlight, but the rest of the cast are terrific. Sets, costumes, music, characters - all of the highest calibre - created for just four episodes.

It is often said that we live in a time of uniquely high-quality television, but let's not forget just how good some earlier TV was.

Do give it a watch. You might find it dated, but I found it tremendous fun.
